Reviews for the Apple iPhone 7
Now, it is also waterproof. The case of the new iPhone is now also protected against water and dust. There are also improvements in respect to the camera as well as the display, combined with a lot of performance. A headphone jack is, however, not available anymore. Sound output is now handled by the Lightning port instead.

Archive.org versionIf you're going to buy a new iPhone, this is the one to get – there's a slightly longer battery life, a better camera, fast innards and protection against water. However, many of the changes are slight, and the iPhone 6S, for the lower price, suddenly becomes a very attractive option.

Archive.org versionThis phone really shouldn’t feel like a major update. Standout features here, such as waterproofing, are long overdue in Apple land, the design has barely changed bar a few skin-deep tweaks, and some of the upgrades fans have been crying out for (more storage, for instance) come at the expense of mid-range models.

Archive.org versionThe striking new iPhone marks the first time the company has released a handset under the (Product)Red banner. It also arrives 10 years after the Apple’s first (Product)Red offering, the Product(Red) iPod Nano special edition. In that time, Apple says it has donated $130 million USD to Global Fund through its (Red) partnership, making the company the initiative’s most generous corporate donor.

Archive.org versionSo, is the iPhone 7 worth it? While we think the iPhone 7 is a sleek, gorgeous and generally fantastic phone with enhanced cameras, an improved design (with beautiful new colour options), better battery life and a supercharged quad-core A10 Fusion chip, we think it’s a more appealing upgrade for iPhone 6 (and earlier) users. We don't think we could justify the upgrade from an iPhone 6s to an iPhone 7, especially with the price hike in the UK, as the changes aren't as groundbreaking as some we've seen in the past.

One hundred percent of all money raised by (RED) goes directly to Global Fund HIV/AIDS grants that provide testing, counseling, treatment and prevention programs with a specific focus on eliminating transmission of the virus from moms to their babies.

Archive.org versionIs the iPhone 7 better than a Google Pixel, or a Samsung Galaxy S7, or any number of other Android phones? It’s way too subjective for anyone to actually make that call. There’s no denying that Apple’s hardware is some of the best in the business, but the software is going to be very polarizing. If you like iOS, Apple makes a phone that’s more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the best that Samsung, LG, Google, or anyone else can put out. It may not win in every category (excluding the processor), but Apple’s selling point is their ecosystem; your iPhone talks to your iPad, which talks to your MacBook, and all of them share purchases, content, and will all get updated as soon as new software is available. That’s something that no Android OEM really attempts to match.

If you are using an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus you might be able to do without the extra speed and water-resistance. If, however, you are currently using anything older than that, you will at least want to consider the iPhone 7.

Archive.org versionWhile the design might not have altered a great deal, it's clear that some big strides are made with this year's iPhones. Waterproofing is a huge plus point, and the traditional increase in processing power once again puts Apple at the front of the pack. Improvements with the camera and screen give further incentive for existing iPhone users to upgrade, and while the removal of the 3.5mm headphone socket is a pain, the expanded taptic engine does much to make up for it, allowing system-wide vibration feedback which can be felt in everything from scrolling menus to games.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 7 is indeed a powerful phone. It also has a pretty great camera, but I can’t call it an upgrade over the iPhone 6S. If you have one, hold on to it. To me, the iPhone 7 signals a new era for iPhones to come. It is indeed an upgrade over an iPhone 6, but I’d still recommend holding on to that one and buying the iPhone 8 next year. Apple is evidently making changes, from UI to hardware, and there are greater things to come.

Archive.org versionThis is the closest anybody has come to producing an iPhone. Not just in terms of design, but also features and price. It's very hard to distinguish between them. Bear in mind you'll have to pay for any apps again if you move from Apple to Google, and offset the free cloud storage with Google Pixel against any monthly iCloud plan. Gamers will appreciate the early VR approach in Google Pixel, but we think it's a stop-gap till a better VR option comes out.

Archive.org versionIf the Galaxy S7 was expecting an easy fight against the “same old” iPhone 7, it is in for a surprise. Apple managed to pull ahead in staples like battery life, color presentation, outdoor visibility, and audio prowess – in fact, most departments that are near and dear to the average user. The wide color display and camera alone are worth the jump, as these are futureproofing the iPhone 7 for the next two years at least. Boosted by a greatly enhanced iOS 10, the iPhone's software ecosystem has never been richer or more refined, too.

Archive.org versionIf you have an iPhone 6, then it makes sense to upgrade to the iPhone 7 as there are significant upgrades between the two. However, if you’re coming from an iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7 might not be a huge deal. And, if you’re a first time iPhone user and you have the money, the iPhone 7 is a pretty heavy investment that could put a huge dent in your wallet. For those who are on a tight budget, the iPhone 6/6s with its reduced retail price (only Php21,800 here) and iOS 10 update is still a much better option.

Archive.org versionHaving plagued Sony for years, the curse of smartphone stagnation is knocking on Apple's door. Given the rapid rate of progress over the last nine years it was inevitable that eventually the iPhone would become an annual evolution and no longer a revolution. The iPhone 7 is still one of the very best smartphones on sale today and it is of course the best iPhone for those who don't want the gargantuan iPhone 7 Plus. But it perhaps isn't worth buying if you already have the 6S.

But what does it matter how good it is when the battery is dead? The battery life just isn’t good enough to last one day, let alone two when so many other smartphones do.

Sure there’s a fair few improvements, such as the water resistant design and new better-in-low-light camera, but nothing that’ll blow your mind. Once you get down to the iPhone 6, there’s more reason to update here - mostly that super-nippy performance from Apple’s A10 Fusion processor. And if you’re jumping into the wonderful world of Apple mobiles for the first time, then this is undoubtedly the handset to spring for.

Archive.org versionYes, the iPhone 7 comes without an audio jack and pretty much without a Home button - one that you can press the old fashioned way anyhow. It uses the same design and same screen size and resolution. And, yes, it's better than the iPhone 6s in so many ways. If you are still not impressed, though, the iPhone 7 Plus could be your thing, with a bigger screen and a brand new dual-camera setup, involving a regular and telephoto lens. Or, you may want to wait for the anniversary iPhone next year and keep a very capable iPhone 6s around for another year - if you don't insist on water protection and stereo speakers.

Archive.org versionIf you need to buy a new phone right now, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are excellent. They're the best iPhones Apple has ever made. But if you decide to wait for next year, you won't actually be missing out on much. Don't get me wrong, Apple needed to make the iPhone 7. They needed to go back to basics and improve the fundamentals by adding features like water resistance and stereo speakers - features that their rivals have been pushing for years. And now that they've done that, Apple is ready to build on that foundation and change everything again. But we'll have to wait for next year's iPhone to experience that.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 7 is what we expected - it's clearly one of the best phones around and matches the rival Galaxy S7 almost punch for punch. It's priced at a premium level - though Apple will sell bucketloads of course. So do we like it? In a word, 'yes', but we feel there's a lot more going for the iPhone 7 Plus, especially when you consider the dual camera. (We've been quite spoilt with larger phones recently, too.) In a sense the iPhone 7's biggest rival isn't the S7, it's the iPhone 6S and iPhone SE. They're are still sticking around and are - of course - pretty formidable devices in themselves. Both give you so much and they will appeal to those sticklers who simply can't cope without the headphone jack.

Archive.org versionI’ve only played around with the iPhone 7’s new iSight camera a little bit since unboxing the device this morning, and so far I’m impressed with it. Like previous iPhones, it takes terrific pictures and super sharp 4K video. It’s also wonderfully fast. Is it better than the iPhone 6s’ camera? It’s hard to tell at this point. I haven’t noticed much of a difference so far, but I think the main improvement will be in low-light environments, so I’m looking forward to taking some shots when the sun goes down this evening.

Archive.org versionYes, if you are someone who is heavily invested in wired headphones or other accessories that use a minijack, this new model will require that you use an adapter. Most people won’t care, but if you do, it’ll be a pain for a while. You’ll be toting around adapters for a few years. Eventually it won’t seem like a big deal, but right now, for some people, it will undoubtedly be frustrating.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 7 is not the overhaul that Apple usually presents us with every two years, but there is enough here to keep those upgrading from the iPhone 6 happy. At first glance, however, it's perhaps not the phone to draw in iPhone 6S fans who might be upset that their phone is now old and needs to be replaced - for the iPhone 7 could almost be seen as an "S" version of the iPhone 6S. The removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack may remain briefly controversial, while the odd-looking AirPods (£159) have also raised some eyebrows. But this biggest point of change isn't really going to impact most users as much as it might sound.

Archive.org versionIt's worth noting that StarHub and Singtel slightly adjusted the upfront cost of the phone in some of its plans (as compared to the previous iPhone launch). While M1 may be pricier by Singtel by a dollar in some tiers, we've also considered the extra data given by M1, since we assumed each extra GB of data used is ~S$10.70/month if its purchased as a standalone add-on. With that in mind, paying an extra dollar over two years works itself out.

Archive.org versionOverall, it's not a massive upgrade from the last model, the iPhone 6S. The water resistance is a great addition, but not necessarily a feature that warrants an upgrade. If you have an iPhone 5 or 5S, this would definitely be a massive step up, but if you have the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S, consider your budget before upgrading.

Archive.org versionWhile the iPhone 7 is available in different storage options, the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a base 32GB of storage and extra storage can be added using a Micro SD card. This means that a 200GB of storage can be easily added to the phone. The iPhone 7 finally sees the end of the 16GB base model, which left very little room for storing anything.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 6s may now be the best pick. While its battery life isn’t as good as the SE, it’s nearly the same size and offers a 32GB base storage tier. It’s also got a headphone jack. Then again, Apple’s entire schtick for the past decade has been that it offers a no-compromise premium experience, not a pick-which-features-matter-most option. If I were personally buying an iPhone today, the iPhone 7 would be third, behind either the SE or the 6s.

The new Jet Black colour scheme is also irresistible and we guarantee the first time you see it you’ll want to pop it straight in your pocket.

Archive.org versionApple's new flagship phone is faster than its predecessor, it has a better camera and screen, more storage, and it's water-resistant. If you can deal with the lack of headphone jack, it's worth the upgrade from an older iPhone. But while it's a great phone, it's not the very best.

Archive.org versionThis phone really shouldn’t feel like a major update. Standout features here, such as waterproofing, are long overdue in Apple land, the design has barely changed bar a few skin-deep tweaks, and some of the upgrades fans have been crying out for (more storage, for instance) come at the expense of mid-range models. We’ve been stung by a Brexit-related price spike here in the UK, too. Buying into the iPhone way of life was never cheap, but you’ll be forking over £800 for the top-spec 256GB model.

Archive.org versionWe'd pay the extra £100 to get the iPhone 7 instead of the iPhone 6s. Mostly because the sturdier Force Touch Home button and its waterproof nature make it more durable. As an aside, we deeply wish Apple had solved the screen cracking issue too (so keep it in a case). Additionally, the new A10 chipset will run for many years to come. The iPhone 6s is a glorious phone, but the iPhone 7 is a keeper. The removal of the headphone jack will cause much online chatter, but you can still use headphones via an adaptor and the stereo speakers are a real bonus. The iPhone 7 is the one to get.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 7 improves on the iPhone 6 on every level. The iPhone 6 was eclipsed by the iPhone 6S, and we reckon it's now a little long in the tooth. Prices start at around £449 for a lowly 16GB model, but for the extra money you're probably better off plumping for the entry-level iPhone 7.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy S7 offers faster internal components, at a slightly lower price. But the iPhone 7 is a better-looking and more interesting device thanks to its Force Touch home button and twin-speakers. The removal of the headphone jack is going to remain controversial. Ultimately, it falls down to software and we prefer the iOS operating system and its apps. Both devices are incredibly fast, and will work for many years to come, but we'd rather spend those years in iOS than Android. It's close, though.

Archive.org versionSo, no, the iPhone 7 won’t blow your mind with its design or features. It’s still a fantastic phone. And philosophically, it feels like Apple is throwing open a door. The iPhone 7 might not be a revolution, but it might be the catalyst for lots of them. Your phone will be better in a few months, and even better a few months after that. And wouldn’t that be exciting?

Archive.org versionIn almost any other case, on almost any other phone, the loss of the headphone jack would be a deal-breaker, even with the excellent changes to other parts of the phone. But this is the iPhone, and with iOS, Apple has built an overall ecosystem that's hard to leave. So potential buyers have to think, first and foremost, about whether it will be more annoying to switch over to an Android phone with a port, or to have to use an adaptor on planes and in cars over the next few years. For some, the loss of the headphone jack may make it feel like Apple made the iPhone actively worse.

Archive.org versionThe iPhone 7 Plus has a bigger, sharper screen than the iPhone 7 and will tend to last about an hour longer when browsing the internet or watching videos (that gap has shrunk since the last generation - the 6s Plus last between one and three hours longer than the 6s in these usage scenarios). The iPhone 7 weighs less (138g to the 7 Plus's 188g) and fits into a pocket more easily, and costs £120 less at each storage tier. And then the iPhone 7 Plus gets the bonus feature of a twin-lens rear-facing camera, which enables 2x optical zoom and features such as post-shot refocusing.

Archive.org versionApple broke with its tradition by keeping the 6/6s design for another year, opting instead to improve fundamental parts of the user experience. The iPhone 7 has a better battery than before, a more color-rich screen, a vastly improved camera and plenty of horsepower thanks to its new A10 Fusion chipset. If you're looking for newfangled features (or a headphone jack, for that matter), you'll have to search elsewhere. While it's not thrilling enough to warrant an immediate upgrade from last year's 6s, the iPhone 7 is nonetheless an excellent smartphone.

If you’re still rocking a 6 or 5, the 40 percent increase in hardware power over the 6s with with the iPhone 7, could be reason alone to warrant an upgrade. Subtle new features like the home button’s new Taptic Engine and Stereo speakers, breathe new life into the aging overall design.

Competitors like LG and HTC ship much higher quality headphones with their flagship phones, and Apple owns Beats, so it’s just really hard to understand why it’s still shipping such decidedly mediocre headphones with the iPhone. Especially when the company is trying to get everyone to be enthusiastic about the move away from 3.5mm. But here we are.

And with iOS 10 arriving to add all kinds of new OS features to the iPhone 6S, it may be worth waiting for the iPhone 8. However, if you splash the cash, you will get enough new benefits to justify to yourself at least that it was worth moving to the newest device, and if you get it in one of the new colours everyone will know you're the coolest guy or gal in town.

But Apple has cleverly largely negated the complaints by packing in the box the Lightning to Headphone adaptor (you can buy these from the Apple store for $12).

Archive.org versionLike we mentioned at the start, this year’s new iPhones are not drastically different from last year’s, but they do have some important features that will entice users to upgrade. The faster processor and better cameras are perhaps the most attractive new features. iPhone fans who have been hankering for a proper black iPhone will also feel the urge or need to upgrade, especially since the new Jet Black color looks so cool. That said, it will be interesting to see how users react to Apple’s bold decision to remove the 3.5mm audio jack.

Model: The iPhone has been the smartphone to beat since the day it was launched. Apple has been breaking some kind of records from the first iPhone till the iPhone 6s which was launched in 2015. The same goes with this year's iPhone 7. For a start, it comes with the same screen as the iPhone 6s, a 4.7" IPS LCD with a resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels. It is still one of the most stunning display out there but loses badly to even the mid range Android Phones in terms of resolution. In terms of outlook, the iPhone 7 looks exactly like its predecessors, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. It has the same dimensions too at 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm and weighs at 138 g, about 5 grams lighter than the 6s. The only notable physical differences between the iPhone 6s and 7 are the antenna lines on the back. They have been repositioned to the top and coloured to blend into the body. The camera bump is also slightly thicker and bigger on the iPhone 7. Nevertheless, if the iPhone 7 is used with a case, it'll look exactly like the iPhone 6s. Its aluminium body is as steady and classy as before and is now water and dust resistant with an IP67 rating.
Inside the iPhone 7 is Apple's latest A10 Fusion processor which is said to be as powerful as a laptop processor. It is coupled with a 6 core GPU, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. Another big improvement is its camera. It features the same 12MP 1/2.7”-type sensor but the iPhone 7 has brighter lens – f/1.8 compared to the f/2.2 in the 6s. It also features optical stabilization, which was only available on the bigger iPhone 6S Plus previously. Image quality is further enhanced by an improved image processing. The missing 3.5 mm headphones jack has made way for other component enhancements. This includes a larger battery and better speakers. The battery is said to provide 1 hour of additional battery life compared to the iPhone 6s. The speakers produce better audio quality with louder and clearer tones. The bass in also better on the iPhone 7. Besides these, the removal of the headphone jack had made it possible to use a Macbook trackpad like a pressure sensitive touch button. The button isn't actually a physical button but pressing on the button will trigger the taptic engine to give a up down movement feel. This enables more pressing and feedback options which may be explored in the future by Apple's newer OS or by third party apps. Potential buyers who are put back by the lack of a headphones jack should know that all iPhone 7s' are supplied with a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter and Lightning EarPods in the box. Besides, there are many choices of wireless earphones out there including Apple's very own Wireless AirPods.
The iPhone 7 comes in 2 new colors, Black and Jet Black. Black is a replacement for Space Grey that came before. It is the preferred color as it covers up all the borders and joints on the iPhone, giving it a full unibody look. The Jet Black color has a high gloss finish, which is also nice but it attracts smudges and, worse, scratches. Apple has stated that its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. The iPhone 7 is a good choice to many but for the iPhone 6s users, it may not give many additional features and it even looks and feels the same.

Imagination A10 Fusion GPU: Multicore graphics card included in the Apple A10 Fusion SoC that can be found in the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones. Most likely based on PowerVR technology and according to apple 40% faster than the A9 while using only 2/3 of the power.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
A10 Fusion: System on a chip (SoC) from Apple that is built into the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It integrates four 64 Bit cores that are divided in two clusters. Two high performance cores that should be around 40% faster than the A9 (according to Apple) and two low power cores (that need only 1/5 th of the energy in some use cases). Up to now its unclear if all four cores can be used at once.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
